People tend either to love or hate this seaside resort town. We are on one of those sides. Card is unused, from 1980s, but in excellent shape. Grade: 1

Doi Kong Moo holds the cremated bone of the Buddha. There’s also a picture of Jong Klang Temple here. The card was mailed from Malaysia (not Thailand) in 1991, with Malaysian stamp and full postmark, but to be honest the front of the card looks a lot better than the reverse. Grade: 4

This popular tourist destination’s alternate name is Wat Prachetuphon but unless you’re Thai, Wat Pho is a lot easier to say. Card was mailed in mid-1980s with two stamps and a heavy, illegible postmark. Grade: 1

This view is of what many people call the Bridge over the River Kwai. It’s this card that calls it the Dead-Railway-Bridge. (We understand “Kwai” to mean “river” in Thai, anyway.) Two cards are available. One was not postally mailed but has a message written on the reverse (Grade: 4, $1.50) while the other is unused (Grade: 1, $3).

Many Asian foods are great. Thai dishes are our clear favourite. Five unused cards from Thai Airways are available:  Three are Grade 1 ($2.50) and two are Grade 2 ($2).  Also one mailed from Malaysia with stamp and 1994 postmark, but both sides are abraded (Grade: 4, $1.50), and finally another mailed from Malaysia in 1994 but not abraded and no legible postmark (Grade: 3, $2).

This card shows one of, if not THE premier archaeological site in Thailand. Difficulties in getting there make it relatively unspoiled still. Card was mailed in 1990, with stamp and legible postmark. Grade: 1

Modern, unused card of Bangkok’s new airport, where passengers who’ve already been there are praying their gate won’t be at the far end. Grade: 1

Our only quibble about this unused, modern card is that the photo is about as far away from normal Thailand as it is possible to get. Maybe that’s the attraction to it? Grade: 1

This is a bilingual booklet of 14 unused cards showing “Impressions of Suburbia in Textiles”–a 2004 exhibition by two artists, primarily of various cloths and models wearing unusual designs. Grade: 1

This photo was taken at the Ayutthaya Elephant Palace and Kraal. Front of the card is as-new but the reverse is fully written with a message that was later mailed in an envelope. Grade: 4

Ah, Hatyai.  We wonder if anybody who ever went there (back in the day, anyway) ever had time to write a postcard.  Here’s an unused one, aging on the reverse, but it’s never too late.  Grade: 2

Two cards are available, from this enormously popular (and well-located) hotel.  One is unused (Grade: 1, $3).  The other was mailed in 1998 with some postmark smudging on the front margin but also with three different large and colourful stamps and partial postmarks on the reverse (Grade: 3, $8.50).

Not to be confused with 20326072, here are two unused cards.  Grades: 1

Unused card showing the lobby area of this magnificent old hotel, now gone.  Grade: 1

If there’s a busier hotel in Bangkok, we don’t know it.  Unused card.  Grade: 1

Unused card from the 1980s.  Grade: 2

Two unused cards are available.  Grades: 2

There’s been a major transition in Bangkok hotels during the past few years–including this one, which had dominated its prime commercial location.  No longer.  Two unused cards are available.  Grades: 1

Artistic, and issued in 2009.  Unused, and two are available.  Grades: 1

A little bit of historical knowledge helps.  Four of these unused cards, actually issued in 2009, are available.  Grades: 1
